Summer camp ... fun, learning, something for the kids to do when school's out, something to give moms and dads everything from needed child care to a slice of sanity during June and July.

What's that, you say? It isn't even spring break yet? Well, I am about to share with you a secret of the cut-throat world of parenting, and that is that the good camps get booked up early, so reserve some spots now. The plus here is that, since you have your calendar open, you can make your summer family plans now and when May comes, all you have to do is have fun! No panic involved!
